We toured Aria back in 2024, and from the moment we saw the venue and met Andrew, we were completely sold. We toured a few other venues before Aria, and truthfully, Aria blew every...
single one out of the water.
The venue is beautifully designed, decorated, and effortlessly elegant! What truly left us speechless was the chapel. The gorgeous chandeliers paired with the all-white marble make it such a breathtaking space. It feels timeless, bright, and incredibly special!
Another huge selling point was how reasonably priced Aria is for everything you receive! A maitre d’, bridal attendant, open bar, an extensive cocktail hour, endless entrée options, flexibility with dinner service, staff setting up your décor, the list truly goes on!
Throughout the entire planning process, we were lucky enough to work with Andrew, who is genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. He is funny, honest, incredibly responsive, and made the year and a half leading up to our wedding completely stress-free and enjoyable! One thing I especially loved was how Aria schedules multiple planning appointments ahead of time, each focused on a different aspect of the day (ex. one for menu selections, another for linens/lighting/rough timelines, final details, etc.). It made the entire process feel organized and manageable. Aria quickly felt like a second home to us, and Andrew quickly felt like family!
On the day of the wedding, before I even walked into the building, my bridal attendant Sydney was already waiting outside for me, bringing my items in, offering me a drink, and immediately making me feel calm and taken care of. Sydney was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She somehow knew what I needed, what my photographers and videographers needed, and what our family and friends needed before any of us did. She constantly checked in on my husband and me, brought refills just as we were taking our last sips of our drinks, coordinated seamlessly with vendors and the maitre d’, and kept everything running smoothly. Because of her, the entire day felt effortless.
Gino was our maitre d’ and also handled our seating chart (look up Julea Design!), and he was AMAZING to work with both leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. In regard to the seating chart, Gino was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and is unbelievably creative and talented! He made the most beautiful suggestions and turned our seating chart into something absolutely breathtaking, it truly exceeded our expectations and was very reasonably priced! On the wedding day, he communicated with every vendor, kept us on schedule, made sure everyone knew exactly where to be and when, and ran the timing of the ceremony PERFECTLY (which was something I was nervous about since there’s no rehearsal. Trust me, you do not need a rehearsal or a day-of-coordinator if you pick Aria!). Thanks to Sydney and Gino, we truly did not have one ounce of stress on our wedding day!
And the food, SO GOOD!! Honestly, it somehow tasted even better on the day of, than we remembered from the expo! Our guests are still raving months later about the cocktail hour, entrees, cannoli station, late-night station, and gelato station!
Long story short: book Aria for your wedding!! Between the stunning venue, unbelievable food, flawless organization, and the kindest, most patient team you will ever work with, Aria made both the planning process and our wedding day completely unforgettable. We are endlessly grateful!!

The staff was professional, attentive, and truly invested in making sure everything went smoothly.

Their attention to detail and calm presence allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. Special shout out to Andrew who was a big support leading up to the big day.
Our guests are still raving about how stunning the venue was and how seamless the entire event felt. We are beyond grateful for the incredible experience and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run place to celebrate their wedding day.

Everyone we spoke to/interacted with leading up to and on our wedding day was fantastic. Everyone was so attentive and eager to make our day as perfect as possible. We worked with ...
Andrew to ensure all of our details for the day were perfect for us. Never once did I feel pressured to make any decisions we weren't interested in. Our wedding was held in the larger ballroom where we held our ceremony in the back garden. The garden is stunning and secluded to make it feel special. We had about 220 total people and the space felt nicely laid out with plenty of room for the dance floor. Our bridal attendant, Melissa, was incredible and attentive. She was always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed, additionally she helped calm my nerves prior to walking down the aisle! Our maitre'd, Pier, was also incredible. He made the ceremony and reception run as smoothly as possible while keeping us in the loop. He asked for our thoughts on reception timing with dances and speeches and we deferred to his expertise. Both of them checked in on us constantly and I felt we were listened to and cared for immensely. People also raved about our food for days after! I could not recommend Aria more, it was affordable, beautiful, and everything we could have ever wanted.

. The venue is absolutely stunning, and the staff go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. We got married in Ballroom A with our ceremony in the gardens, and it was breathtaking. I cannot stress enough how majestic everything is at the facility.
We received so many compliments about the entire day, and that wouldn’t have happened without the assistance of every single staff member at Aria. They are all incredible, kind, and dedicated to making sure you have the best day possible. The food was amazing, with so many options for stations and add-ons — they truly curate the perfect experience for you and your guests.
Any questions, concerns, or requests we had were answered quickly and efficiently, and we were able to do everything we wanted and more. On the day of, the bridal attendant and maître d’ were exceptional, attending to us, the bridal party, our parents — everyone — making sure we were all happy and cared for every single moment. The owners are so involved and genuinely want your wedding to be exactly how you’ve always imagined it; they truly make your dreams come true! Cannot thank and praise them enough!!!

We had our wedding at Aria in Prospect, CT, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The venue itself is breathtaking—grand, elegant, and so well kept—but what truly...
made our day unforgettable was the level of care and attention we received from the staff.
One of the biggest highlights of the day was having a bridal assistant by our side. From the moment we arrived, Melissa made sure everything went smoothly—helping me with my dress and shoes, making sure I always had a drink or bite to eat, checking in on our comfort, and quietly handling the little details I didn’t even realize needed attention. She truly made me feel like I could relax and just enjoy the moment without worrying about a thing. We were concerned about not being able to try all we wanted and she made sure everything was brought to our table waiting for us and packed up extras for us to bring home.
Andrew and the owners were amazing to accommodate any requests we had prior to the day and it made the day even more perfect, we had our dream wedding.
Our guests raved about the service, the seamless flow of the evening, and of course, the food (which was amazing). Every single detail was thought of, and we felt so taken care of.
If you’re looking for a venue that’s not only stunning but also comes with a team that goes above and beyond to make your day perfect, Aria is the place. I couldn’t recommend it more!

ce I stumbled upon Aria on The Knot and saw photos- I knew I found it. The second we walked in we knew we would this would be the place we would be getting married. It was perfect! Andrew is a saint- literally the best of the best. I cannot thank him enough, and if you are working with him just know you are in the best hands. You can tell he is very knowledgable of the industry and the venue, and he helped us every step of the way (even with my 10000 emails). On the day of, we were SO warmly greeted by Melissa & Gino. They were such a good team! Melissa was our bridal attendant and WOW was she phenomenal. She knew what I needed before I did at all times. She made sure I was well taken care of, along with my family and bridal party as well. We were absolutely blown away by her service. You definitely want Melissa to be apart of your special day!
Lastly, even the Owner went above and beyond for my family- he was amazing. He made sure my parents were enjoying themselves throughout the evening, and even brought them their favorite bottles of wine! The next day when we returned to gather some of our items, he was there to greet us and help us again. Every single person in that building is a joy and a pleasure to work with. If you are considering Aria for your special day, DO IT!! You will not be disappointed.

Aria was the first venue that my wife and I toured. The two words she continuously told me to describe the aesthetic and feel of her dream wedding were “classic” and “elegant”. The...
atmosphere and attention to detail within Aria embodied these words. We fell in love with the foyer and then with each of the ballrooms and all that Aria had to offer. All of the staff were wonderful people, always willing to help and explain things so that we could be sure that everything would be perfect. We had an amazing day at Aria, and all of our guests were left stunned by the beauty, elegance, and attention to detail at Aria. Our meals were excellent. The staff on the day of the wedding went out of their way to cater to my wife and I, and our guests. We have nothing but love and appreciation for Aria and their staff, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Everyone in the Northeast should include Aria on their list when looking at venues for their wedding.

The service, however, was extremely underwhelming and the workers were very unhelpful.
The Maitr'd and ...
bridal attendant were nowhere to be found when we needed them and there were not enough desserts for people even though we paid for way more than how many showed up. I’ve had many complaints from my guests and all my vendors as well and numerous influencers were there, and it was very embarrassing to hear all this from them. Luckily, I hired an additional coordinator because I did not trust the venue to do their job. I would recommend doing this if you are going with this vendor.

t to our wedding planner/coordinator, Andrew Russo. I absolutely adore this guy! He’s the perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, humor, and kindness. He handled everything seamlessly, including my numerous requests and last-minute changes, making the entire planning process fun and stress-free. His attention to detail was unmatched, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through our wedding journey.
When we arrived at the venue on the big day, we were greeted by our personal wedding day attendant, Melissa. She was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout the day, she was always checking in to see if we needed anything—whether it was a drink, food, or just a little support as we moved through the busy schedule. Her attentiveness and organization were remarkable.
As for the venue itself—absolutely breathtaking! The stunning atmosphere paired with incredible food made for an unforgettable experience. We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding they’d ever attended, and I have to agree. Aria made the entire evening flow effortlessly and turned every moment into something special. The night was such an incredible experience that I want to get married again haha!

and overall an amazing person who you want planning your wedding. He did not miss a beat and did a great job dealing with my many requests and last minute changes. They made every step very easy and fun adding to the whole experience and making it less stressful. The day of the wedding when we arrived at the venue, we were given a personal wedding day attendant who was there for anything we possibly needed. Melissa was absolutely amazing and was always asking if we wanted a drink or food or anything at all while we were running around. By the end of the night she had all of our personal belongings and extra food to take home with us all organized and ready to go. She absolutely did not skip a beat. Not to mention this wedding venue is absolutely stunning and the food is incredible. We had so many of our guest tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been too and that was because of Aria. They made the whole evening flow so perfectly and made every bit of the night an experience. We got married this December and the holiday decor they put out is also out of this world. We loved the idea of a Christmas wedding and they had so much decor that just added to the whole experience. I can go on and on about Aria. I highly recommend!!!!

e for me and a ballroom so all of our guests could see us at once for him. Funnily enough, I grew up in a town over from Prospect and had never been to Aria before until we went for our initial tour and I was blown away. Throughout our two year planning process, Andrew was patient with us as we asked a plethora of questions and provided great input upon our request. After a disappointing tasting experience at one of their showcases in March 2023, Andrew listened to our criticism and concerns and promised that the feedback would be relayed. He reassured us that it was not a good reflection of what our actual wedding day would be like; and he was right! On our wedding day, the food was incredible! Everything was plated beautifully and was so flavorful - a huge difference from the tasting we attended. Guests are still raving about all of the food! Speaking of food, our bridal attendants, Gino & Klea, took incredible care of us! Both kept refilling our drinks and were kind enough to pack up all the left overs for us, including our cake! We left that night with a tray of pasta, any remainders of our entrees, desserts and pastries from the Venetian table and about 2/3 of our entire wedding cake! In addition to ensuring our needs were met, the bridal attendants and Maitre D ensured the ceremony and reception were executed flawlessly. One of the best things about Aria is they have done a lot of weddings and their expertise allows you to relax your actual wedding day. I did not have to think or worry about a thing that day which was invaluable. We could not be happier with how things turned out!

At the end of the evening they even helped us to pack all of our things and packed us our extra food and some cake for us to enjoy later, which we thought was very special. Speaking of food, our guests could not stop raving about how great our food was as well. We would give Aria greater than 5 stars if we could, and would definitely recommend this venue to others!

Overall, we were complimented on our wedding by our guest as one of the best wedding's they've ever attended. ♥

Where do I begin!! 10/10 would recommend. My husband and I recently got married on 10/22/22 and had our reception in the big room of Aria. We would rate this venue 6 stars if we c...
ould. We were blown away by Aria and the team from beginning to end. We worked with Lina throughout the planning process and she was so kind, thorough, responsive and overall just very helpful. On the day of, they did an absolutely outstanding job. The room looked out of a fairytale wedding and everything flowed SO smoothly. We had the time of our lives! Also, our maître d' was a rockstar!! We didn't have to worry about anything all night and catered to our every need. Also, THE FOOD! So good. We've received so many compliments on the food and what an incredible job they did. Aria, you truly exceeded all of our expectations and we are so happy we had our wedding here!! Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special!!

Aria was the perfect facility for us! We used the bridal suite which was a perfect addition to kicking off our special day. The chapel is literally perfect. The terrace gorgeous, a...
nd the ballroom speaks for itself! But we think a perfect venue is about more than just the beauty of the facility. It’s also about the food and the staff; both were a 10/10. Out guests raved! The staff, especially Tina, made sure my husband and I ate all our yummy food! The kitchen cooked everything perfectly! We were so thrilled we choose Aria! Definitely worth it!

Aria was an amazing venue for our wedding this past weekend. Our guests raved about the food and the beautiful grounds. The bridal attendant and the maitre d' were so attentive a...
nd amazing. (Cassandra and Pier) The venue was absolutely gorgeous and everything we had hoped for. The only reason I gave it four stars was because we wanted to take our first look and bridal party phots before the wedding, but had to pay additional money for the extra hour just to have access to the grounds for photos (we did not know this when we booked it). Overall, a great place for a wedding and amazing to work with!

ll my appointments with. Great billing plan which made it affordable vs one lump sum upfront. Whenever I asked for a recommendation she would always have an answer. She helped set us up with a to go tasting meal of chicken and seafood dishes vs going to the dinner option. We loved the grouper and all their food in general haha We were able to have my husband's friend Bob marry us which was fun. Lina helped us all with the paperwork process with the City of Prospect. The day of all the staff at Aria were very nice and accommodating to us and our guests. We also got to meet the owner and asked if my now husband was allowed to touch/play the piano quick and he said yes! My husband loves playing the piano so it was sweet he able to even though the sign says not to. We liked that the owner was very hands on with his business.

When we first started planning we wanted a rustic, industrial vibe, but we soon found out it was way out of our budget. Aria made our wedding planning process super super easy and ...
for an open bar, a lot of good food, and length of reception was budget friendly . We were concerned that we'd feel "unspecial" because another wedding happens at the same time as yours but we felt very well taken care of. I also appreciated how organized they were and their processes to keep everything on track. Special shout out to our bridal attendant who made a makeshift wedding topper when our baker forgot our topper.

ay they all went above and beyond to please us and were so attentive to making every detail perfect. They are so accommodating and had so much patience with us bringing all our belongings before the big day. They kept everything safe, organized and set up perfectly for us.
The staff is all so warm and welcoming. Lina is amazing to work with and our wedding attendee was unbelievable and didn’t miss a beat. She made sure we had everything we needed and was there 24/7 to take care of our needs on our special day. They make you feel right at home and confident for your big day! The food is absolutely delicious, service is impeccable and the venue itself is just gorgeous!!! I would highly recommend them for any special occasion!

From the moment we got engaged, my fiancé and I knew that we wanted our wedding at Aria. The entire staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating for us as we navigated ...
through postponements and the general planning process. Lina was the most kind and helpful guide to have as we decided on food, timing, and ceremony options. Our guests continue to rave about both the quality AND quantity of food that we had. We continue to have our guests tell us that it was the best meal they’ve had at a wedding EVER. My only regret is that I didn’t eat enough of it! Aria provided us with a bridal attendant (Mariah) and a Maître D (Michael) and they were both PHENOMENAL. Mariah was kind and calming, and truly made sure that our every need was met. Michael kept our evening flowing efficiently and kept everything on time! We truly could not have imagined a more perfect day. The venue itself is gorgeous, and we were able to take pictures outside in their beautiful courtyards. We are so happy that we made Aria a part of our day and only wish that it had lasted longer! Thank you to everyone at Aria for a truly perfect wedding.

We had the absolute BEST experience at the Aria because of your venue and staff. Guests who have never been before described the venue as elegant, classy, and sophisticated. Thankf...
ully the weather was gorgeous, and we got to hold our ceremony and cocktail hour outside Ballroom B in the gardens. The maintenance and overall beauty of the gardens area was wonderful. The food was outrageous, especially my favorites including the pesto gnocchi, crab cakes, and mini Philly cheesesteak rolls. Other married couples were happily shocked that the Bride and Groom were able to tell staff when WE wanted to eat, even as the guests were receiving their dinner as we were making our way around tables. This was perfect so that our food was hot when we were ready to eat, and the filet mignon was cooked to perfection! The staff boxed up all food and placed our decorations on the cart so we could enjoy every single minute until it was over. The professionalism, charisma, and excitement the staff showed (especially Andrew and Lina) during our appointments made the experience such an incredible journey. The two Bridal Attendants we had all night were phenomenal and always asking us how we were doing and if we needed anything else. I would have nothing improved at our wedding because it was the most perfect Wedding day we could have dreamed of, all with the help of Aria.

I was supposed to get married in March 2021 at Aria, thinking that after COVID-19 Pandemic it would all be okay to have my wedding. My fiancé and I consulted with Aria monthly sinc...
e September of 2019 where they told us we would just have to wait and see what the state of CT would do regarding the lockdown. The consultant at Aria continued to tell us that we would have to see in February if the state lock down would be lifted. As a bride I could not wait until February 2021 to decide if I was going to be able to host my wedding for March 2021. Aria gave us no direct answer until we asked them again in December 2019. They reported to us that we would not be able to have a 25 person wedding, which we were given the option to have a 25 person wedding at our 6 month meeting in September 2019. Therefore we decided to not have our wedding at Aria due to the lack of clear information. They gave us the option to reschedule our wedding but if we wanted the price that we were locked into, it would have to be in the same season just different year OR not have our wedding with them at all. Since we decided to not have our wedding with Aria we tried to get our money back due to being written in their contract Aria shall not be responsible or held liable for its failure to comply with the terms of this agreement as a result of the following: fire, flood, extreme weather conditions, AND any other Acts of God or causes beyond the control of Aria. Should such a situation occur and Aria be unable to host your event, ALL DEPOSITS/PAYMENTS will be RETURNED.” Due to the pandemic being beyond the control of Aria our deposits/payments should have been returned in full. However the individual we worked with at Aria reported that the COVID-19 pandemic is not an act of God or beyond Aria's control, which is strange to me because having the state of CT shut down and not allow any events seem to be out of Aria's control. We fought this as much as we could without legal authorities and were able to get 50% of our deposits/payments back. Although we are grateful for the 50%, we are still disappointed and disgusted at how they are able to keep our money for an event that we were not able to have because of the state's restrictions. In the end we have had a terrible experience with Aria and as a COVID-19 bride I shouldn't have been put through what I was put through with Aria.

From the moment we got engaged, we knew Aria was our top choice. Little did we know that we would be so BLOWN AWAY with their level of service, support, quality and care. From the ...
moment we walked in, we knew would be treated like family and they literally treated our wedding as such. Our wedding was originally in June 2020 but we moved to July 16, 2021 due to COVID, which was a difficult decision, and keep in mind we lived in the Midwest while planning our wedding. They supported us with every change and were extremely flexible, and we are so grateful. In advance of the big day, they were so organized and detailed that we barely had to lift a finger. They had the best recommendations for vendors, the best intel on the wedding itinerary, and more. They are a one-stop shop! During our big day, they catered to our every need and that of our bridal party. The service was IMPECCABLE and the food was outstanding! Lina, Lori, Andrew -- thank you for all that you did to make our wedding the best for us and our guests!

We can’t say enough amazing things about the experience we had at Aria - both planning and execution. From the beginning, everyone was extremely helpful and positive throughout the...
planning period. We started our planning with Lina and ended with Andrew. They would always respond in timely a manner and made sure they went through everything thoroughly with us. Days before the wedding we had a few cancellations and Andrew was so awesome about making sure we had all the guest information correct. Now for the day of - freaking fantastic. Our bridal attendant was by far the best and most professional we have ever met. She was lightning fast with preparing, even helped me and my 6 bustles!!! I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. The entire staff was a delight and extremely helpful. We are more than happy that we ended up choosing it and hopefully this helps you make your decision easier! A big thank you to everyone at Aria that made our special day just that much more special. It was worth every penny!

s about only having 7 months to plan a wedding but Aria made it so easy!! We worked with Lina who was absolutely amazing. We had countless meetings with her and she was extremely helpful throughout the process. She really understood what we wanted and helped to make that vision come to life. It’s been 2 weeks since our wedding and people are still talking about! Mainly the food! Aria has such a great selection of appetizers and meals that there is something for everyone. Most importantly the venue itself is absolutely stunning and there are multiple places to have your photos done! We had 200 people and I was worried it would feel empty in the large ballroom but it was absolutely perfect. The dance floor is right in the middle and everyone dances all night! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ARIA!!!
